Trump barred attendees of his presidential announcement from leaving Mar-a-Lago until he was done: report

"Donald Trump announced his latest bid for the White House to a practically captive audience at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Tuesday night," reported Ed Mazza. "ABC’s Jonathan Karl called the speech 'incredibly low energy' and said he saw people leaving in the middle of it ― until they were blocked from departing."

Further, according to the report, "ABC’s Olivia Rubin filmed a crowd forming near the doors, waiting for a chance to leave as Trump rambled in the background."

from 1913 Massacre Woody Guthrie

The copper boss' thugs stuck their heads in the door
One of them yelled and he screamed, "there's a fire"
A lady she hollered, "there's no such a thing
Keep on with your party, there's no such thing"

A few people rushed and it was only a few
"It's just the thugs and the scabs fooling you"
A man grabbed his daughter and carried her down
But the thugs held the door and he could not get out

And then others followed, a hundred or more
But most everybody remained on the floor
The gun thugs they laughed at their murderous joke
While the children were smothered on the stairs by the door
